CHIPlay'19 workshop on  Play, Culture, and Food

In this one-day workshop, we will explore how culture and traditions can
guide the design of playful interventions for everyday situations and
practices, like eating. With other scholars and practitioners from diverse
communities and backgrounds, we will:

- Share, analyze, and make creative use of playful food and eating
traditions;
- Engage in a hands-on design activity, prototyping new and interesting
eating experiences;
- Explore, reflect on, and discuss strategies to chase culturally-grounded
manifestations of play in broader situations, and make designerly use of
them.

If you are interested in design methods and play(ful) design, this workshop
is for you! You do NOT need to be a food/tech expert. We have selected food
and eating as design domains because of how relatable they are for
everyone.

Submission instructions: Please submit a (max. 4 page) expression of
interest to: [email protected], before September 15, including:
- A 150-word bio.
- A short (~300 word) statement about the perspectives you bring to the
issues we will explore in the workshop.
- A description of one or more playful food traditions from your family,
culture, community, etc.. An example of a description of a playful food
tradition can be found here.
- Optionally, you can also describe strategies/methods you have used to
take design inspiration in culturally-grounded play.

Proposals will be selected based on originality and relevance to the
workshop themes, considering having a diverse representation of
perspectives and cultural backgrounds. All attendees must register to
attend the workshop.
